Lyrics: So said the ranger to the corps: "What's the time there? ...seems like an age since you hatched your futile plan". Winter in the Andes all out misery so you're listening in to everything No it needn't take long to learn their mistake half an hour easy to pass the night away on borrowed time The last of the dogs have gone to rot make your rest here we'll take a lock of hair and say that you sleep now

Lyrics: He took the late flight home then opened up his door to the gaze of a stranger Made for the local store where he spied his desired wandering the aisle "I've seen you before far from town on a long-forgotten day But who we were I can't recall for the life of me" She looked around once more and thought she heard a voice over the speaker Then a familiar tune echoing out to only static and noise
3.
Lyrics: I found a door You know the number... Oh it grows light again I wake with an open hand And can't remember Yet still i yearn to Recover it from The empty morning I have a key You know the answer…
4.
Reaching the water's edge and the sky overhead Is the eye of a hurricane The open shore so still Wherever your reach falls You'll never find me Far out to sea Never before did I dare to depart from your isle But darling we said the wrong things My only hope, escape Out on the ebb tide You'll never find me Far out to sea

Now that I have the evidence I'll head for the distant border First I'll hit the trail and when I reach the road Outrun the approaching convoy I heard the noise and could not sleep Turning the whole night over She was not the first to go yet everyone Recoiled from where they found her And who are these faces Pale and unmoved Immune to my films The hearing adjourned What of this city Strangers and shades Scraping the sky At sea I lay in a lonely hold Keeping my hidden camera Safe from the raging storms above That now I wish had drowned me
7.
Don't blow your lines dear you know there is no choice to be had Just give it some time dear and you'll see there was never a chance Their side is sleeping now is the time Here is the hour dear that we end this reprieve and decide Or all that you love dear will burn out under blistering skies See, I have prayed for this everyday A last minute call spares the fate of us all not a soul will learn how we made such a narrow escape A ring in the night and the flickering light dims to green then she sighs and swears to try again credits
